This was actually an expanded based on the email I sent to the advocacy list last week. That email lead to the invitation to Moscow.

It is worth noting here that most of the problems listed here for active discussion are problems that occur with volume and load. But for reference: 1. Table partitioning was used to solve autovacuum and statistical correlation problems on

I think one needs to recognize that git was pioneering. And one of the problems with being pioneering is that some things way not work as expected, and be difficult to fix later. In other words pioneers make the mistakes those who follow

The CEO blamed ADP for the payroll being late. When you combine that with the lack of paystubs, if alarm whistles aren't going off, you are just not paying attention.

I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't read too much bad into the account of Jessica other than a simple power struggle. Those happen all the time anywhere. The CEO and CTO however...... The allegations there are pretty se

Pay people in regular ways through regular channels. Seriously, though, ADP delivers paystubs. If they were using ADP, they would have gotten paystubs.

Totally second this. Particularly look at: 1 How they treat their customers 2 How they treat their affiliates 3 How they encourage their affiliates to treat their customers.

Totally misses what ISO paper sizes are designed for, namely book binding and signature printing. That's why the scale-invariant approach is so important. Once you know how many leaves in a signature and what page size you want, it i

code as data, however, does become an important concept in becoming really good at Perl or Python (and I would assume Ruby etc), and understanding common pitfalls here also helps one spot, for example, LSP problems and provide better soluti

How many kiloseconds will you spend working next week? Even in metric-using countries, nobody uses it for time. For actual applications of spherical trig though degree, minute, second makes a lot of sense, primarily because the earth rotate

I wonder if it is an internal/external optimization. The whole point of metric is that it is built around the number system, leading to easy conversion between units. The whole point of the American unit system is that they are optimi

by einhverfr 10y ago
I am not sure. American units usually focus on divisibility and factoring of integers, while metric units focus on quick base-10 math. So they are different concerns and this is why, I think, people from elsewhere in the world have so muc

Yeah, right up until your car lease contract limits you to 2000 Swedish Miles per year. (Note, these are about 6x longer than American miles). Or you buy fruit at the supermarket in Indonesia in ounces and kg (an ounce is an hg).

I assume that the Sumerians were observant enough to realize that there were still a few days missing, and that 360 was better because it was a more divisible number actually. The Sumerians did, in fact, periodically insert intercalary mont

One of the neat things about degrees and plane geometry is how regular polygons you can have without partial degrees. The number of sides depends on the divisiblity of 360 by the number of angles so: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30

That description of ML reminds me what I really like about REBOL and RED as well.

It is also worth noting that failure is often a step on the path to success. Learning to apply the "code is data" principle in other programming languages is not without pitfalls as you say and falling on one's face sometime

Looks fascinating. The abstract dovetails on Hilaire Belloc's "The Servile State" in interesting ways. Belloc argued that the key to the success of the industrial revolution in the UK was the confiscation of Catholic church

It's a nice perspective. Very practical and down to earth. There is another side though, and that is that learning to think of code as data is extremely empowering and translates well when working with a fairly large set of other lan

Indeed. The only reason I can see the other side to this is that I have been married to a woman from a Indonesia for over a decade now. It has been a long process to understand the cultural differences. And I have enjoyed studying anthrop
